We caught up with Councilman G. Oliver Koppell Friday as he was on Riverdale Avenue with North Riverdale Merchants Association Co-Presidents Anthony Fella & Gary Wartels and Long time Riverdale Avenue merchant Patricia Cassiere stand in front of three of the trees trees that Councilman Koppell had planted on Riverdale Avenue in the West 259th Street area. The merchants also described several of the ideas they had such as modernization of the area, a study of the area for traffic improvements, possible movement of bus stops to other locations, and a few other ideas that Councilman Koppell had his ace staffer Andrew Sandler copy down for later review by both.
A short time later Councilman Koppell was on the West 235th pedestrian overpass of Henry Hudson Parkway pointing out some new graffiti to Mr. Bruce Pienkny President of City Solve Graffiti Removal. City Solve does graffiti removal work city wide, and Councilman Koppell was able to have the company do graffiti removal throughout his council district. Below are some photos of each event.
